I love running, unfortunately I have a ligament problem in my left knee that kicks in like clockwork between 5 and 5 1/2 miles.
I finally gave it up because the one thing that's more depressing than not running, is having to stop running when you're not even close to having to stop.
I think it's fixable with surgery but I don't want to go that route if need be. It only bothers me running past 5 miles. I've tried everything and instead have switched to both skating and biking which seem to not affect my knee.
You guys who can run until your body drops, consider yourselves blessed!
And Gratz Phred!!

Frank
